1. identify the conditions that are most likely to lead to helping (4 points).

- They assume responsibility for helping

2. Create a scenario where someone is more likely to help (4 points).

An elderly woman named Freda Hurst, 73, was doing her daily walk through Trinity

Bellwood’s Park at 8:00AM on Sunday. While doing her usual walk, she had tripped over a

large branch and fell to the ground. Freda was unable to move and was there for a few

minutes until Melinda Jackson, 32-year-old Social Worker, had stopped to help Freda.

Melinda was also on her daily route as she runs through the same park every morning. As a

Social Worker —who is CPR/First Aid certified— she assessed her surroundings and

proceeded to help Freda. She also began to assess her and ask her questions like “Are you

able to speak?” What is your name?” “Are you hurt?” “Are you able to move at all?” “Is

there anyone I can call?”. Freda explained what happened and said she was unable to move,

so Melinda called 9-1-1. Melinda remained at the scene until emergency services arrived.
3. After creating the conditions where we are most likely to help, reverse the conditions to

create a scenario where someone is less likely to help (2 points).

Its Saturday, July 27 at around 5:30PM, there was an annual carnival held in Toronto.

There was a parade and loud music and a lot of alcohol being served; everyone was

having a really good time and partying. There was an unidentified gentleman seen

vomiting off to the sides of the streets. No one went to help him, it was crowded, and

there was alcohol being served. People assumed he was just intoxicated, and he can

handle himself.
